Flamenco Shows in Granada

The origins of flamenco in the capital of Granada go back to the first gypsy communities that settled in Sacromonte. The importance of this neighbourhood is still alive today and some of the best tablaos can be found in its cave houses. But flamenco has spread throughout the city over the years and today you can breathe this musical genre in many of its corners.
